"Historically overtaking has been difficult in Melbourne, but this time there will be two DRS zones," Sauber's head of track engineering Giampaolo Dall'Ara revealed.
Jenson Button added: "I think the potential of a second DRS zone will be a real benefit - last year, along the startline wasn't quite enough for overtaking - I think we'll get more benefit from a second zone."
FIA has yet to publish details about the two DRS zones in Melbourne but potential locations for the second zone would be between turns two and three or between turns 12 and 13.
